MIL/DET

[Geaux Blue]

Don't do this very often but i'd like to explain why this deal doesnt warrant a veto by any means. First off, I believe if MacMurrich were rated an (87) no one would bat an eye. He certainly has the vitals to justify such a rating. The guy is a switch hitter that can play multiple positions and has 87 eye, 78 power, 96 eye. His home position is 2B and I believe he'd be one of the better players at that position in the file if he got enough at bats. Oh and he produces, sure it's in 557 ab's over 3 seasons so far but he's produced an .846 OPS but so far in his young career his numbers have proved his vitals right. Also, he's not even arbitration eligible till after the '57 season. I really believe his (84) rating has him undervalued and he's a very valuable player to have. After saying all these wonderful things about MacMurrich why would I move a guy that plays a hard position to fill? Bart Ahearn is blocking him for the forseeable future. The prospects I gave up aren't great by any means, i'm not really a fan of Love and that's why I didnt mind dealing him. Archibecqui I have some belief in, sure he doesnt look to become a future star but his vitals and overall/peak look solid right now and he has a lot of possibility for growth. I like him as a prospect.

The player i'm getting back is Delgado (90). He has fancy vitals and although he's a righty looks to has switch hitting vitals. Through a little over 2000 ab's he sports an .836 OPS which is impressive along with good to solid defense. He's also 28 and will be a FA in a couple years. He's a really good corner outfielder and im guessing the reason Ryan would move him is he believes Espin will take his place and in time produce well for his Brewers while he gains a nice 2B that plays for him right away and gets a solid prospect along with one I myself isnt that high on.

The above is why I believe this deal is far from a veto by any means at all.
